I apply Megs #20 with a Grey CMA Pad. I usually clean the pad by soaking it in a plate of dish detergent and then a complete water rinse. Well.....after a few uses I can't seem to get the #20 out of the pad...no matter how long I soak it for. Is it time for a new pad? I've only used it...

Good morning everyone, I recently picked up my 2003 GTP and gave it a nice detailing last weekend. The paint was in good condition so all I did was wash it, followed by Megs #20 applied by PC, and topped with #26 paste. I bought a 4 layer car cover to protect it since I don't have a...

Hey Guys & Gals, First...thank you for all the information you all have provided me. Last weekend I detailed my Grand Prix. I decided to lug all my stuff to my summer rental home since it has a driveway and a garage to work in. I started with Scratch X, but after doing one panel I...

I had purchased #26 liquid wax, but after reading seveal posts here about the paste being more durable I went out and bought that. I still have the liquid wax and was wondering. Is the liquid thin enough to spray it onto the car....kinda like a quick wax? What about breaking it down...

Well I've been screwing around all day with some new products I got yesterday from CMA....I want to get accustomed to the products and post questions about them........hence all the threads below this one! Here is my line up: Gold Class Wash Mother Clay Gold Class Wash Again Meguiars...

Morning, I find both of these QD's readily available at my local Autozone.....the Megs is the Quick Detailer in the maroon bottle...not the Final Inspection...can't seem to find that anywhere except the web. I've been using Megs QD and I personally like it. Was in autozone last night and...

Good Morning Everyone, I tried to buff out some wax this morning with a MF towel (purchased from CMA.....nice towel I must say!) and the towel seems to want to cling to the cars surface even after the wax is removed. I'm accustomed to cotton cloth which lets you know when the wax is gone...

Hi Everyone, I picked up some #26 Paste Wax tonight. I openied up the container to check it out.........it looked hard and crumbly! I took a cotton cloth and attempted to "scoop" some, but I barely got any on the cloth. I took what looked like a dried chip of wax and rubbed it with my...

Good Morning Everyone, I unfortunately don't have a garage and very limited storage space. I do have a large driveway where I can detail my car. My problem is storing all my detailing stuff. I have a PC and a myraid of pads for it. Several bottles of cleaners, polishes, and waxes...

Afternoon Everyone, My shippment of MF towels from CMA has arrived along with other detailing goodies! Other than cutting the tags off....do I need to wash the towels prior to using them? I will be kicking my detailing experience up a notch this weekend with a full paint cleaning...

Hey Autopians, Are there any auto detailing magazines out there? I've checked several large newstands in my area but can't find anything other than auto magazines with a car care section. Any mags devoted strictly to this? Thanks, George :nixweiss

Morning Everyone, A friend of mine has a 2001 Lexue ES300 with the wood trim interior. How can he polish the trim so that it retains its gloss and has a nice warm look to it? Thanks. George :cool:

I understand that #20 will remove most glazes when applied. What surface preparation should be done prior to applying #20? Also, can #26 be used as a topper? I know the 20 will provide me with a durable protection layer which I think will out last #26, but will a #26 topper increase the...

Hey Everyone, I'm planning on switching to Meguiars #20 for the winter and Meguiars #3 & 26 in the summer. I currently have a grey finishing pad for my PC which I've used Megs GC wax. The pad was cleaned by soaking in a plate of dawn solution and thorough rinsing. Can I use this pad...

Okay on the CMA website they have Meguiars # 3 Machine Glaze and #7 Show Car Glaze...what is the difference between these products? Is #7 intended to be applied by hand rather than by an orbital or is there other significant differences? Thanks, George

I have some GC wax which I've used on my car...like the shine durability is okay. Is this a synthetic wax? The packaging indicates it contains polymers and resins. I've also picked up some Megs #3 machine polish...can I use the GC over this or will it strip it? If it strips then...

I read a post on another car site about using clay on glass. Has anyone ever tried this......what would you use as a lubricant for the clay? These guys claim the glass comes out totally smooth and water sheets right off of it. Thanks, George

Where do you guys/gals buy this stuff from Protect All? I'd like to try it based on the posts I've read on this forum...sounds like a great product! Thanks, George :D

Good Afternoon Everyone, I have been lurking around this site for a bit now and have already purchased a PC along with some Meguiar's products. I do have one question since I'd like to detail my car this weekend. Here in NY we are in a drought and should be conserving water....thus no...
